I already stated that I do not watch Fox News. In fact, I don't have cable TV.

You'll be joining my ignore list, now. Have a great day!

What on earth is wrong with this state? First, the imbeciles in charge try to restrict hydroxycholorquine as much as possible. Now according to a new Las Vegas Review-Journal article just posted, the state bureaucrats shut down multiple sites today which were doing rapid testing as well as antibody tests:

Do they just want this crisis to go on for as long as possible?

Stop. the hydroxlycholorquine issue dealt with the hoarding of supplies detected by the state pharmacy board.
The testing thing deals with a proper test being done. In one of the two there is no question...the only qualified supervisor quit. In the other case it was a question of whether the people were adequately trained for the task. The health people have a requirement that they assure the jobs are being done properly. And they should enforce that.

Well, it said the nurse-practitioner quit and that's why the testing was halted. The government also wants it's greedy fingers on licensing fees and to overregulate the process. Not much of a shocker with a Democrat in charge.

The article also pointed out something I mentioned earlier and got balked at by some members of the board which is that the testing has cross-reactivity with other coronaviruses and is not specific to Covid-19. So, a positive result doesn't guarantee Covid-19 infection. But there it is in Nevada's own newspaper.

Did the governor rescind that and now a doctor can prescribe in an out-patient setting? Does anyone know?

Personally, I think all front-line medical personnel should be given this Rx for free if they want to take it.

A prison infirmary is considered a hospital.

Lucky we are not South Dakota with their idiot governor not shutting things down

Their governor is one of the few smart ones -- one of the few while will actually be looked back on in history positively. Governors have ZERO legal right to "shut everything down," let alone issue stay at home orders. Especially not without declaring martial law first. What most governors have done is a rampant violation of our civil liberties and the Constitution all because of a virus that's about 1/10th as lethal as first advertised. The entire thing is an epic joke and will be seen that way by history books written down the road. The facts ARE coming out, they can't be stopped, whether that's Stanford's professor mentioning today the lethality is "orders of magnitude below what has been reported" or the German study with a 0.37% mortality rate or Iceland's similar findings, you can't change the facts. The more data that comes out, the more obvious it is how much of an overreaction this all was.

Doesn't work according to this

I think there is a more extensive study being done in the UK so hopefully that will shed more light on the matter.
